What Carl said. If you really want to change Xiom Intro is a solid rubber that goes well with YSE. He needs to use his strength to develop strokes rather than use the power from the paddle. If the ball goes out he will be afraid to hit hard.

I actually did this and now after 2-3 yrs he is better than me in some aspects. Make sure you keep it fun otherwise they lose interest.

Also I have found that it is easy for them to serve without the toss. I let them do it and slowly add the toss later.

I am teaching my son and daughter so in my experience, if the kid is not tall enough start with flat serve. Once they get some accuracy change it up a little in this order. 1. Flat serve 2. Flat serve with different placement 3. Flat serve with speed ie. fast flat serve 4. Flat fast serve with...

Try this please. Dont try to put too much spin at first. Slow down, just try to get the movement and contact the ball. Gradually increase the speed and spin later.

Can you post a link for Masako-chi videos. I cant find them. Thank you

Absolutely agree no need to buy anything more than what Carl recommends, but your current set up might be ok too if its not too old and dead rubbers. Main adv on technique for you - Main movement of your stroke should be back to front. Watching your videos your predominant movement in FH stroke...

Check Zeropong.com for Gambler blades. They have some clones of famous blades for about $40.

Yasaka Sweeden Extra and vega intro is a very good setup. Look at my first post and read through the thread. Several senior players here recommended this set up. I am sure there are other good ones, but this YSE I can say from personal experience.

TSP SWAT is 7 layer vs Stiga Azalea is 5. Any advantages or disadvantages between the two? Also in my research I came across Yasaka Balsa battle - very light wt, rated OFF which I think is too big of a jump for a developing player but any opinions or experience with this blade just for knowledge...

Yes the Fukuhara blade looks great, although expensive. I know thomas likes Butterfly blades and was wondering about butterfly options. I wonder if it is worth the price compared to the other ones?

I was only looking at all wood options. Any good composite options I need to consider? Thanks for the replies

Need help again from our experts. My son's game is developing nicely. Quick refresher - He was playing with YSE and Xiom vega Intro. He has done very well with this setup and advanced to Vega Pro(FH) and Euro (BH). He can play all the strokes (drive, push, topspin, loop, flick, smash, lob etc.)...

Thanks a lot for the info. What do you like about Swat power more than Swat. Is it just fast? how does it compare in push and control? Also could you give some info about Firefall LC.

Thanks for all the goo info. How do you compare swat vs victas dyna 7?

Also he is a naturally talented player.

Deng Yaping - full of energy, one of the best player of all time

My 2 cents, no expert here. I think most people here can see and think that THs FH is off and I think most people agree that TH has achieved a lot more than most other world class players at his age. My observation - his FH has recently become even more off/not perfect/awkward whatever you want...

How about Yasaka Sweden Extra?

I know NL is an experienced player and he has a good reason for switching. Just for my own knowledge, would love to hear NLs reasoning/assessment RE these blades. Thanks for all the replies, very good info.
